Eric Owen Moss
Eric Owen Moss (born 25 July 1943) is an American architect based out of Los Angeles. He is the father of American football player Miller Moss.
Moss was born on July 25, 1943 in Los Angeles, California. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1965, his Masters of Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, College of Environmental Design in 1968 and a second Masters of Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 1972.
Moss has taught at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) since 1974 and served as director from 2002 to 2015. He has held chairs at Yale and Harvard universities, and appointments at Columbia University, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.
Eric Moss founded Eric Owen Moss Architects, also known as EOMA, in 1973. The 25-person, Culver City-based firm designs and constructs projects in the United States and around the world. The work of the office is documented in books, monographs, and publications internationally.
The most prominent work of the office is an on-going urban revitalization project in Culver City, California. Since 1986 the EOMA team has been working with developers Frederick and Laurie Samitaur Smith to transform an abandoned industrial neighborhood into a campus for creative-minded companies. Today the Hayden Tract and surrounding neighborhood attract some of the most successful design, film, internet, and digital media companies in the world.
Paul Goldberger stated in a 2010 article for The New Yorker, “Slowly, one building at a time, Moss has managed to accomplish something that none of his fellow-jet-setters have ever achieved: the creation of a genuine urban transformation through architecture.”
In 2017 EOMA completed work on Vespertine, an experimental restaurant project with chef Jordan Kahn. In its first year Vespertine was named best restaurant in Los Angeles, and Time Magazine listed Vespertine as one of the World's Greatest Places to Visit in 2018.
Moss received an Academy Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1999. He was awarded the 2001 AIA/LA Gold Medal for his architectural work as well as the Business Week/Architectural Record Award in 2003 for the design and construction of the Stealth project, Culver City, California. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and received the Distinguished Alumni Award for the University of California at Berkeley in 2003. Moss received the 2007 Arnold Brunner Memorial Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2011, he was awarded the Jencks Award, given each year to an architect who has made a major contribution to theory and practice of architecture by the Royal Institute of British Architects. In 2014 Moss was named a "Game Changer" by Metropolis Magazine. In 2016, Moss was awarded the Austrian Decoration for Science and Art.
